History

1934–1999: Early History

Nottinghamshire Women's first recorded match took place in 1934, which they lost to the Women's Cricket Association. [4] They went on to play various one-off games against nearby teams, such as Warwickshire and Lincolnshire. [5] East Midlands Women, which included players from Nottinghamshire, joined the Women's Area Championship in 1980, and was a founding member of the Women's County Championship. [6] East Midlands won Division One of the Championship in 1999. [7]

2000– : Women's County Championship

Nottinghamshire replaced East Midlands in Division One of the County Championship for the 2000 season, finishing second with four out of five wins. [8] Nottinghamshire remained in Division One for a further four seasons, finishing second again in 2003, but were relegated in 2004. [9] After two seasons in Division 2, Nottinghamshire returned to Division One and remained a consistently mid-table side. [10]

In 2009, Nottinghamshire played in the 2009 RSA T20 Cup, a tri-series in Ireland with Pakistan and Ireland. They finished bottom of the table, but managed one win against Ireland. [11] In 2010, they joined the Women's Twenty20 Cup, placing 2nd in their regional division in their first season. [12] They reached the semi-finals in 2013, but lost to eventual winners Kent. [13] In 2014, however, Nottinghamshire were crowned the Champions of the tournament, first qualifying for Round 2 unbeaten, then finishing above Middlesex and Kent in the final group on Net Run Rate. [14] [15]

Since then, Nottinghamshire have had a brief stint in Division Two in both competitions, in 2016 in the Championship and 2017 in the T20 Cup. In both instances, they gained promotion at their first attempt. [16] [17] In 2019, they finished 6th in the Championship and 9th in the T20 Cup. [18] [19] In 2021, they competed in the East Midlands Group of the Twenty20 Cup, and won their region, going unbeaten with 5 wins and 3 matches abandoned due to rain. [20] In 2022, they finished fourth in Group 1 of the Twenty20 Cup. [21] In the 2023 Women's Twenty20 Cup, the side reached the group semi-final, where they lost to Lancashire. [22]
